Research

I work for the moment on two research themes; (1) The role of procurer organizations in systems development project and (2) learning collaborative interaction design and the role of shared representations. Before I did research on dynamic decision making and situation awareness. All these themes deals with collaboration, cognition and the use and design of information technology.

__________Procurement project

This theme deals with the role of procurer organizations in systems development. More specifically we study how procurer organization understand and organize for usability in order to make usable systems design. Please have a look at our conference documentation site or our first application[in Swedish]..

DEKAL-project__________

This project "Shared Representations and Collaborative Learning of Interaction Design"(DEKAL) deals with how designers make use of external representations and how they collaborate in order to make design proposals. Take a look at our project site.

__________Dynamic Decision Making

This theme deals with how people make decision in dynamic environments. My interest is especially the cognitive aspects of collaborative decision making and the relation to information technology.
